14 Best Cafes near South Berwick

“Passed this place 100 times and finally had time to stop in for breakfast.I planned on getting a breakfast bagel or burrito at first, but when I saw they had a special breakfast bowl on offer I figured I'd give it a shot and I'm so glad I did. I asked for it to go, which was probably a bit of a pain container wise, but the workers running the show had no problem and made it happen for me.I went on a short walk around the town while they made it, probably only 10-15 minutes when they also had about 10 other customers so excellent timing even when it's pretty busy inside. I'd probably order ahead next time to make it a bit easier on them as it's quite small inside and the kitchen also looks to be very small.The staff was awesome and very accommodating, the person at the counter made my green tea SUPER hot which I personally love and made sure to double cup it so I wouldn't have an issues holding it. A nice attention to detail that goes a long way with people I think.Can't wait to go back because my bowl was shockingly good, I expected your average run of the mill greasy breakfast meat with decently done eggs and some mushy veggies and was 100% wrong. They used awesome fresh crispy peppers, spinach (could have been kale), onions, potatoes which were a mix of sweet and gold and sausage. I got my eggs sunny side up and they were flawless, whoever works the grill nailed it.“

“Breakfast sandwiches are excellent and the woman working there was so nice! My husband really enjoyed his latte. Bonus you could order online and everything was waiting for us. We then went next door to the Belle Farm gift shop and that was very impressive. It had a lot of unique items. The woman working there was also incredibly nice! Looking forward to returning to both places!“

“Best vegan breakfast sandwich on the Seacoast. I always get the build your own breakfast sandwich with tofu, vegan sausage and cheese with pickled onions and spinach on a bulkie. Delicious!!Everyone here is super kind and I look forward to going as often as I can.Vegetarian options: They always have a really good selection of vegan options.“

“I adore this place in so many ways! The food is so delicious whether you get one of their salads, a sandwich or one of their pastries/treats. The decor is inviting and bright and when the weather is ideal they have a cute little patio to sit on overlooking the river. Service is wonderful too! I can't rave about this place enough.“

“Fantastic coffee, nice people, and the vibes were just good. This may have something to do with the fact that they were roasting cardamom when I was in there, so the smell was AMAZING, but even after that faded away, I enjoyed being in a warm, friendly place and sipping on my delicious pourover coffee. Short walk from the train station and lots of other shops and restaurants.“

“I just moved in down the street and had only walked by this place early morning before they were open... until today. My pistachio latte is delicious, the space is massive and it's got a very cool feel. I'll be back soon for some food, I have a strong feeling they know what they're doing here!“

“10/10 as always. The food, atmosphere and overall vibe are the perfect mid-day escape.They were down a person in the kitchen and rightfully told customers there would be a wait. Did it all with a smile. News was well received by most (including myself). Chicken curry sandwich was the best I’ve had there. The Granny Smith apple slices provide a tart and bright crunch to contrast the savory and flavorful (not spicy) curry chicken salad. The focaccia bread was the icing on the cake. Best sandwich I’ve had in years.Place is a hidden gem in Dover.Parking: Ample spaces availableKid-friendliness: Totally laid back atmosphere and they serve the best frilled cheese in NH“

“The service here is absolutely amazing. The people are so kind and considerate, they ensure to list all potential allergens in their menu, and have plenty of amazing flavors! The owner knows her customers and honestly I can't get enough of this place.“

“Surprising, even for me that I have never reviewed Freedom Cafe because I've been going here for years. Until Covid hit we were regulars at the Wednesday night open mic, an area hotspot for students and singer songwriters to show us what they can do. The freedom Café is a nonprofit whose proceeds go towards stopping human trafficking. A serious social issue that is on the rise in the United States, it comes in many forms ranging from forced labor to sex trafficking. There is an extensive menu for a Cafe of this nature , including many different types of coffees, pastries, and crapes. The crêpes options range from sweet to savory. I've tried both and can recommend them without reservation. If you want some good coffee, good food, good atmosphere, and lots of other amenities, choose The Freedom Cafe and put your money where your mouth is. It's a good cause, there's nothing to lose and everything to gain by dropping a few bucks here.“

“Ramon and his family are THE sweetest people on campus and deserve all of our appreciation and attention! They always make their food and drinks perfectly and with love and serve it to you with the most lovely smile that makes anyone’s day better. Their prices can be a lot but as a very small business, they should be rewarded for all they do for us UNH students and staff :) HIGHLY recommend you try! My go-to’s at Ramon’s are a sesame bagel with cream cheese and an iced caramel creme coffee with almond milk and sugar :P“

“Unassuming on the exterior, the Hen House theme inside is cute and old school 100%. I had the chicken club (I know sounds like a bad pun but true) with hand cut fries and it was fabulous. The service is also super friendly. I loved this spot. I wish I lived closer so I could stop in more often. A neat littel place with a yesteryear vibe in the greatest of ways.“

“I have been coming here since Tawny and Nicole opened the store back before the pandemic. They have a lovely local atmosphere, they know our names, we know theirs. They know what we order. Their breakfast food is so good and they have a wide variety of pastries. Their cold brew is my favorite drink to get.“

“This place is awesome. The prices are high but I don't mind paying the extra money for such an amazing selection of stuff you can't get anywhere else. Staff is helpful, very knowledgeable and usually kind. Tried the Cafe for first time today and wow such good sandwiches and reasonable too! I try to go here as often as I can.“

“This cute little place is located just off the highway in Kittery, but beware of the very small and busy parking lot. Delicious bagels and delicious coffee! Comes in handy if you're hungry and need a pick-me-up. There's also a Dairy Queen, and festival toilets around back.“
